In case someone missed aged MK Les Paul, here's very good $10k alternative: https://wildwoodguitars.com/product/85183/true-historic-1958-les-paul-reissue-tom-murphy-aged/?cat_id=242

If you sign it after a concert, throw out useless case candy, it will be as good as MK 1958 Les Paul. Or maybe even better!

Oh my God, I thought about it, but now since we can see the label (the fact he left it on the guitar is insane though), it's pretty reMarkable.

So now he can play 95% of setlist on signature instruments — Fenders, Nationals, Pensas, Schecters, Martins and Gibsons. Man, I don't know if I'll ever be envier as NOW. Mark is Immensely inspirational human being indeed. Just imagine that... it's... insane.

That label on his LP reminds me of this:

The Picture with Jezza and James May wearing those clothing tags....

I know, that newspaper is ....

This is for Gibson experts here.
What's the difference between the aged and the signed ones?
What does "true" means vs. "just" aged?

All specs are the same besides the finish?

Obviously, the signature is only on the signed, which I wonder where is it going to appear?
Are they really shipping 50 guitars all the way to London (and back) for Mark to sign?...

Thanks!

"True historic" Les Pauls have even more attention to detail than the "regular" reissues, for example the correct kind of plastic, a different kind of carve on the top, glue made from horses, ... Of course, this manifests itself in the price as well...

LOL!

On a serious note, how many people would distinguish his real 1958 from reissue (apart from label) on this concert? I believe, this number is zero.

Hello everyone,
I'm a fan of Mark and guitarist, I positioned myself at different stores for the chance to have a Les Paul model 58 and I will have aged 2.
There're only 4 pieces for France (I am in France)
If anyone becomes interested I could possibly sell one of them guitars.

have a good day.

Yes. And the money it costs are just bits of paper - probably made from even less wood than the guitar itself. :)

You need a lot of wood and water to make a simple sheet of paper...
